The Simple Recipe for Growing 
Fine Roses Is... 
Plant Ouly the Gest! 
They Grow Anywhere 
Planters all over America are finding that Arm- 
strong California-grown rose bushes give them 
the best results under most of the soil and climatic 
conditions found in this country. Sixty years of 
accumulated rose-growing skill and the favorable 
Southern California climate make an unbeatable 
combination for producing the big, husky, free- 
blooming plants famous everywhere for their 
quality. 
Everblooming 
Without exception the bush roses listed in our 
catalog are of the so-called everblooming kinds. 
Both the Hybrid Teas and the Floribundas bloom 
continuously throughout the growing season. Sel- 
dom a day will pass in the late spring, summer, 
or fall when you cannot cut buds and flowers from 
these kinds. 
Your Guarantee 
If you follow the simple steps outlined in the 
planting guide, which you will receive free with 
every shipment of Armstrong Roses, and provid- 
ing weather is not abnormal, or there is no dam- 
aging factor beyond our control, we guarantee 
every Armstrong Rose to grow and bloom in your 
garden. 
The picture at right shows plants we will be deliver- 
ing in late 1950 and early 1951. Photographed in 
early June, these plants have nearly six months to 
grow! You actually get a two-year-old plant, and 
these big, husky, well-rooted Armstrong bushes when 
planted in the spring will out-perform less mature 
plants set out in the fall.
